Dear Residents and Friends;
It has been my privilege to serve on the Del Mar City Council for the past three years.
Del Mar faces a number of critical issues that are the Council's key priorities for the coming year including:
My goal is to improve communications and engagement with residents as we successfully tackle these challenging issues, as well as encourage greater involvement and volunteerism within our community.
You have my commitment that I will work diligently to do what is right for you, the residents of Del Mar.
Sincerely,
Tracy Martinez
I was elected to City Council in November 2020, was named mayor in December 2022, and continue to serve as your representative on City Council.
During my first years on council it was my honor to serve as a representative and liaison to a number of committees. In 2023, I served as a representative on the SANDAG Board of Directors (1st Alternate); the 22nd Agricultural Association; Community Relations League of California Cities; San Diego Chapter CSA-17 Ambulance District Advisory Board; Fire Governance Board; Del Mar Non-Profits Quarterly Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan Implementation Subcommittee; and Housing Subcommittee. I also served as the Liaison to
Parks and Recreation Committee; Del Mar Community Connections; Del Mar Village Association;
and Sustainability Advisory Committee.
I moved to Del Mar in 2012 because of the beauty of our small unique village and found it to be the perfect place to call home.
Prior to running for City Council, I became active in Del Mar by serving as Chair of the Traffic, Parking Advisory Committee (TPAC) as well as the Vice Chair of the 6th Citizens Housing Element Ad-Hoc Task Force.
Professionally, I am a registered nurse and a surgical program director. Along with my husband Alan and dachshund pup Sophie, I enjoy the beach, lagoon trails and the special community of Del Mar,
I ran for City Council because I believed our Community Plan (established to protect our beaches, lagoons, bluffs, open spaces and quality of life) was under threat. During the past two years, with the election of a more resident-focused council, we have made significant progress, but there is more work to be done.
Working with City staff and fellow council members, I am focused on getting the things done that have been promised such as under-grounding utility lines, protecting open space and resident views, helping our businesses thrive, supporting our Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan without Managed Retreat, finding a path to move the tracks off our bluff and forging a strong relationship with the Fairgrounds to build affordable housing.
